Profile

I am from upstate New York. I have lived in Virginia Beach for 22 years. I have been married for 26 years with no children.I have been a LPN for 37 years.I have worked in nursing homes in the past and was dismayed at the quality of care that was given to patients and did my best to improve their lives.For the past 22 years I worked in a local family practice. Over the past few years I have been doing less and less patient care ,which is where my heart is.I am experienced in taking vital signs, monitoring blood sugars, insertion and care of NG tubes and foley catheters,wound care, IM and Sub Q injections and administering oral medications.I have done private duty nursing in the past and found it very rewarding.
